Introduction:

Code Check Plumbing & Mechanical 4th Edition is an
illustrated guide to common code questions in residential plumbing,
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The book
emphasizes the safety principles that are at the heart of the codes
for these systems.

The other major codes referenced here are the 2009 Uniform
Plumbing Code and 2009 Uniform Mechanical Code, published
by the International Association of Plumbing & Mechanical Code, (IAPMO).
For most topics, these different codes are in agreement. Each of
these codes also references standards, many of which are maintained
by the organizations in Table 2 (T2).

Additional codes for specialized items are listed in T1. The
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) publishes several of
these. They also maintain NFPA 54:
National Fuel Gas Code, which forms the basis of the fuel gas
provisions in the IRC, UPC, and UMC.

The 2009 cycle of codes is likely to remain in effect in most
areas for at last 3 or 4 years after the cover date. Energy codes,
very greatly from one area to another, and may modify or overrule
the code requirements shown in this book. Before beginning any
project, check with your local building department to determine the
codes that apply in your area.
